Review: 79006 The Council of Elrond – Brickset

The news that Lord of the Rings was to get a second wave of sets was very well received and the second smallest of the five sets released this year is a highlight for me.

One of the most popular settings from the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy is Rivendell, the home of Elrond and elves under his rule. In this set, 79006 The Council of Elrond, we get our first taste of this magnificent location in LEGO, and it really is a treat, perfectly capturing the area as it appears in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring film, directed by Peter Jackson.

The model includes four lovely Minifigures, one of whom is an exclusive character to this set and two of whom have been updated. With 243-pieces, this set is priced at £29.99 or $29.99, and despite the fact that the ‘price-to-piece’ ratio (which I tend to take with a pinch of salt anyway) is some way out, I believe this set is well worth the price... Read more here

Review: 79006 The Council of Elrond – FBTB

While the Lord of the Rings LEGO line has only been out for a couple of years at this point, it’s still surprising to think that the movies they’re based on are twelve years (Fellowship was released in 2001) old at this point. There’s a lot that’s changed in the years since then, both for LEGO (having more than one licensed line) and the actors involved (remember when people thought Elijah Wood was going to be in everything after these movies).

I remember being in the theater, not yet awed by Fellowship and bought in to the setting that was going on, and thinking about the actors that I knew from other films. Frodo was in that gawd-awful Rob Reiner movie, North. Gimli played Leonardo Di Vinci on Star Trek Voyager (he may have also had some small role in some independent film about an archeologist). Aragorn was in love with Steven Tyler’s daughter…Read more here

Here’s What An Amazon Reviewer Had to Say About Lego Lord of the Rings The Council of Elrond Building Set

Isaac K TOP 100 REVIEWER

…StarsImladris in Lego Form…Quite Simply a Masterpiece….

The Council of Elrond is a wonderful Lego set, capturing the longest chapter in Tolkien’s great work “The Lord of the Rings.” Rivendell, called the Last Homely House, is a tranquil set which is the scene for the great deliberation of what to do with the One Ring. This set captures the moment stupendously.

The set is modulated into two main portions, the ‘house’ and the ‘dais’. The house has a few stairs leading to its pillared hall, with a tree poking out one side. A tilted roof gives a strong impression of a gold-trimmed roof bespeckled with fallen Fall leaves, and is quite beautiful (even for the plastic medium). A detachable weapon rack is also designed to sit in the hall, as well. The impression of the house is that it is the entrance to a much larger structure, and is modeled very well.

The dais, or platform, has more of a toy quality to it. The platform is octagonal in shape and 14×14 pips, with a focus on a round stone table which is specifically designed for the One Ring, which attempts very strongly to steal the show in presentation. There is strong competition from the Fall-foliage tree placed on the platform with a dry orange and green tint to it. Three ‘swivel’ chairs are places on the platform which allow characters to sit (or in the case of hobbit or dwarven figures, stand) in place. The chairs are constructed in a manner to allow caped figures to sit easily, as well. The platform has two pegs in the lower side to physically attach and detach from the house portion, giving a great sense of continuity to the piece.

The ‘toy quality’ of the platform comes from a hidden flick-piece that has runners under the platform that, when flicked, strike a platform to rise and throw a character of the platform. This is to recreate the scene from The Fellowship of the Ring when Gimli (included) attempts to destroy the Ring with his axe. a hidden Eye of Sauron block (created through the use of stickers) is then revealed once flicked open.

Four minifigs are included: Elrond, Arwen, Gimli, and Frodo Baggins. Elrond is included with a cloth cape that is very easy to put together (perhaps more difficult for a child). A number of long elven swords are included, along with a bow, Sting (Frodo’s short sword) and Gimli’s axe. Three One Rings (it’d stink to lose _that_)were included amid my bags, though I understand that number sometimes varies. Elrond and Arwen’s hairpieces are rubber instead of the usual plastic. The heads are dual-sided, allowing the user to switch Elrond from angry to slightly less angry.

The whole feel of the Council is tranquil, with hidden danger. A large complaint to the set is that it is somewhat small, and leaves the modeler wanting more. I feel the set could have been priced higher (think $70-$90) for something very substantial. As such, I found myself purchasing and identical set to construct the ‘house’ set in reverse, doubling the size of the house while keeping the platform the same size. Doing this gives the set more heft (at twice the cost), but I feel this is quite worth it and it gives Rivendell a needed sense of symmetry.

This set is a perfect accent to a desk (it is displayed on my desk, and fits well in my social studies and philosophy classes) and would make an excellent gift for Tolkien fans or fans of wisdom and counsel (Elrond’s forté).

PROS:

• A beautiful set that is very tranquil.
• Somewhat rare figures like Elrond and Arwen which may be difficult to find elsewhere.
• Pegged modular build allows the platform to be connected to the house or stand apart.

CONS:

• Somewhat small feel, as it seems to give the user a taste of what could have been a truly astonishing set.
• The ‘action content’ is low, since the scene in the book/movie is somewhat calm, as well. this may lower the appeal for younger users who would prefer a siege scene like Moria or Helm’s Deep.
• Four stickers need to be placed, three for the armchairs and one for Sauron’s eye. This requires a certain achievement of dexterity to be done correctly.
